Abstract: Abstract of Dissertation titled A Policy Review of Cross Boundary Water Resources Management between Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta submitted by Chung Yuen Ting, Vanessa for the Degree of Master of Arts at The University of Hong Kong in June 2003 Water is a highly flexible natural resource without any boundary constraints upon its utilization and contamination. When water bodies are commonly shared among different growing regions with separate units politically and administratively, conflicts would inevitably arise and it is necessary to call for cross boundary management among them. Hong Kong, after the return of sovereignty to mainland China, has been increasingly linked with the Pearl River Delta region in terms of social and economic development. Despite this increased connection, however, concerns on cross border environmental problems have never been addressed until the impact has become visible to the public. Dongjiang is one of the tributaries of the Pearl River which drains nearly 90% of the total area of Guangdong Province. With rapid industrial and urban growth, its water quality has remarkably deteriorated and this has made it very difficult to maintain it as the safest source of potable water for the population of Pearl River Delta and Hong Kong. In addition, the water use conflicts have become more prominent as the sectoral demand on Dongjiang becomes more diversified. Collaboration is the fundamental ground for both governments to implement cross border management; however, the existing institutional and legal frameworks have undermined the potential development. Detailed discussion will be given on examining what and how the current institutions and statutory regulations have been implemented to resolve the water use conflicts. The challenges and opportunities for the practicability of watershed management and cross boundary management as long term strategies in Dongjiang basin will be discussed too. It is foreseeable that a set of thorough and reform polices, sharing the same principle of cooperation on both sides of the border will be formulated to lead to tangible improvement of the water quality of Dongjiang. i DOI: 10.5353/th_b2677125 Subjects: Water resources development - China - Hong Kong Municipal water supply - China - Hong Kong Water quality management - China - Pearl River Delta Water transfer - China - Pearl River Delta

Book Synopsis Sprayed Concrete Lined Tunnels by : Alun Thomas
Download or read book Sprayed Concrete Lined Tunnels written by Alun Thomas and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2008-10-08 with total page 2354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practising engineers on site, in the design office or in client organizations will find this book an excellent introduction to the design and construction of sprayed concrete lined (SCL) tunnels. The complex behaviour of the early age behaviour of the sprayed concrete requires careful management. This book covers all aspects of SCL tunnelling – from the constituents of sprayed concrete to detailed design and management during construction. Although there is a close interdependence between all the facets of sprayed concrete, few engineers have the right breadth of experience and expertise, and this urgently needs to be transferred to the wider engineering community. Disseminating essential information for tunnelling engineers, Sprayed Concrete Lined Tunnels is key reading for all involved in or studying the process.

Book Synopsis Crossing Borders by : Michelle Ann Miller

Book excerpt: This multidisciplinary book examines the diverse ways in which environmental disasters with compounding impacts are being governed as they traverse sovereign territories across rapidly urbanising societies in Asia and the Pacific. Combining theoretical advances with contextually rich studies, the book examines efforts to tackle the complexities of cross-border environmental governance. In an urban age in which disasters are not easily contained within neatly delineated jurisdictions, both in terms of their interconnected causalities and their cascading effects, governance structures and mechanisms are faced with major challenges related to cooperation, collaboration and information sharing. This book helps bridge the gap between theory and practice by offering fresh insights and contrasting explanations for variations in transboundary disaster governance regimes among urbanising populations in the Asia-Pacific.

Download or read book China and Transboundary Water Politics in Asia written by Hongzhou Zhang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water-related conflicts have a long history and will continue to be a global and regional problem. Asia, with 1.5 billion of its people living in shared river basins, and with very few transboundary rivers governed by treaties, is especially prone to such conflicts. The key to mitigating transboundary water conflicts and advancing cooperation in Asia is largely in the hands of China, the upstream country for most of Asia’s major transboundary rivers. To avert the looming water crisis, apart from spending billions of dollars on domestic water transfer projects such as the South–North Water Diversion Megaproject, as well as on water conservancy and pollution abatement, China has sought to utilize the water resources of the major rivers that run across borders with neighbouring countries. On these transboundary rivers, China has built or plans to build large dams for hydroelectricity and major water diversion facilities, which has triggered anxiety and complaints from downstream countries and criticism from the international society. This book aims to systematically examine the complex reality of water contestations between China and its neighbouring countries. It provides a discussion on transboundary hydropolitics beyond the state-centric geopolitical perspective to dig into various political, institutional, legal, historical, geographical, and demographic factors that affect China’s policies and practices towards transboundary water issues. This book also provides a collection of comparative case studies on China’s water resources management on the Mekong River with other five riparian states in the Lower Mekong region: the Salween River with Myanmar, the Brahmaputra River with India, the Amur River with Russia and Mongolia, the Illy and Irtysh Rivers with Kazakhstann, and the Yalu and Tumen Rivers with North Korea. Furthermore, this book sheds light on China’s future role in global water governance.
